Max Ophuls never ceases to surprise me. He's just amazing and each of his films is a delightful experience. 'La Ronde' takes us through the streets and romantic situations narrated by Anton Walbrook at his most suave and sophisticated. He tells us story after story, merging himself into each one (i.e. a story surrounding a private restaurant booth has Walbrook playing a waiter to the couple). He also does his fair share of attempting to sing which although very out of tune is incredibly endearing and fits with the surreal style of the movie. A lovely film. Ophuls yet again gets two thumbs up from me.
